28 Weeks!



How far along: 28 weeks! Third trimester starts today!
Gender: Little GIRL!
Weight gain: From my starting weight, I'm up about 10 lbs. From my lowest weight, about 18 lbs.
Maternity clothes: Most definitely. I'm having a hard time getting anything to fit me anymore.
Stretch marks: Not yet! Still hoping they stay away!
Belly button in or out: Still very much in. I don't think it's gonna pop out.  
Wedding rings on or off: Still on.  
Sleep: I finally gave in a got a pregnancy pillow. I got a mini Snoogle. I can put it between my legs and the edges support my back and tummy, so I've been sleeping better. Just waking up to pee a couple times a night. 
Symptoms: Ohhhhhh, the heartburn. If I eat anything at all greasy or spicy, I'm regretting it. Not much else besides that... Back pain, but I don't think I'd call that a symptom.
Best moment this week: We got the crib mattress today! It (and the crib) was ordered off our registry and wasn't in store so it was shipped to us. I was super surprised and omg, makes it more real!
Miss anything: Spicy food, coffee (not crappy black coffee which I give in and have once in a while), lunchmeat!
Movement: She's gonna be trouble. She's super wiggly at night and early in the morning, except when someone else is trying to feel her or I'm trying to do kick counts. This morning, she was super active, until I turned on the kick counter in my app, and she stopped. This happened three times. I gave up eventually. She likes to kick my intestines. I'll feel her like, in my butthole. Really uncomfortable. I almost wish I was getting rib kicks, haha. She needs to flip over.
Cravings: Still chocolate. I went on a quest for Swiss Cake Rolls the other day. Took me four stores to find them. I've been dying for Lava Cakes from Domino's but haven't had the chance to go get any.  
Looking forward to: Baby shower is Sunday! Eep! Then next ultrasound on Monday. We'll get to see her sweet face again!
